“All Alone”


I have no best friends or female friends.
I have only myself to depend.
I am treated very cruel;
People take me as a fool;
Everyone chooses me to offend.

I am treated with much disrespect,
there is no way that I can protect.
No one wants to talk to me;
No one understands my plea;
If I need help, people can’t detect.

When I’m lonesome, I get so depressed.
The pain I suffer I won’t confess.
I just need someone to love;
And I need help from above;
But the help I get is getting less.

I have no friends everywhere I go.
All of my sadness really does show.
I’m the nicest guy there is;
Why people treat me like this?
My reputation makes me look low.

I sit all alone at my lunch hour.
I am like a very lonely flower.
I need some of the sun’s love;
shining on me from above;
making me grow tall as a tower.

Doesn’t anybody comprehend
when I say that I just need a friend?
People say that they do try;
But I know that it’s a lie;
I just need your support to depend.

But most of all, I need a girlfriend.
Mixing our love is the perfect blend.
Life is short but love is strong;
Getting love can take so long;
But when will I get some helpful friends?
